Rogers best time once again at 46:02....just 3 seconds better than Sosenka!
What a battle!

Gusev has finished the course....with a new best time of 1:00:37! Another
good time trialist on his way to Discovery Channel.

Sosenka is in. He's bettered Gusev's time! Sosenka in at 1:00:18.

Only Rogers can beat Sosenka now.

Sebastian Lang is in in 1:02:55, good enough for 9th thus far.

Cancellara finished in 1:02:01.

Rogers finished.....

Some confusion at the finish initially as Rogers was shown as coming in
in the same time as Sosenka...
